Dylan hitching to New York[edit]
Thanks for query, Gobledeegooke. I looked at the biographies before I reverted. Shelton is vague, saying that some place Dylan in Chicago, while others place Dylan in Madison just before he headed for New York. Scaduto is in effect silent on mode of transport. He ends "A Song to Woody" chapter with Dylan in Madison. Then he begins next chapter, "Bob Dylan's Dream", with Dylan's arrival in New York. Both Sounes & Heylin write that a student Dylan met in Madison, Fred Underhill, recruited Dylan to join him & another friend, David Berger, to share driving to New York. Both Heylin & Sounes quote Underhill saying Dylan sang Woody Guthrie songs all the way to New York, which got on Berger's nerves. So I concluded that version was supported by interview testimony. I think it's true to say that in subsequent poems & songs, Dylan liked to give the impression he had hitched to New York, but he was skilled at mythologising everything about his past!

Korean War[edit]
WP:RS says: "When available, academic and peer-reviewed publications, scholarly monographs, and textbooks are usually the most reliable sources." In your Korean War edit, you're providing a narrative, not an academic history of the war. This not a reliable source when it comes down to the history of the warr. Because we have so much other, more reliable sources, that do not support the contention about American bombings, your edit has been reverted. I recommend you discuss the proposed addition in the Korean War talk page. Thank you. --S. Rich (talk) 05:30, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
